Which jersey would you choose?

[magicmitchmarner]

I was facing a similar decision and went with these two beauties.

 

[Randy Randerson]

nice to have so many good options

 

[SportsJunkie]

I went with Tavares personally but Matthews is the most common among leaf fan base...

Tavares and Marner...

I got Tavares, Clark and Gilmour...I am good

When I went to the Leafs and Lightning game earlier this month in Tampa Bay the majority of Leafs fans had either a Matthews or Tavares jersey.

Personally I decided to bring my Marner jersey and I saw the odd person wearing a Rielly or Nylander jersey.

 

[MattySnipes]

I'd go Marner and JT followed by Rielly. Already got a Matthews one.

Fake pieces of crap right there, those look disgusting. Glad you support a criminal organization that makes these

I thought the same thing the first time seeing that picture.

They look great and are great value for the money, I don't care if they are not the much more expensive $300 jerseys that are mostly cheaply heat pressed.

The Adidas jerseys being sold today are a much better quality and worth the cost, especially compared to the Fanatics jerseys also being today.

 

[Fogelhund]

I think Matthews and Tavares would be the bigger names, that will do best in a raffle situation. The casual fan, would know both of those names, beyond the rest... they might not be my personal choices, but I think you'd do best with these two names. Matthews the home grown star, and Tavares is a well known established NHL star already.

They are all expensive replicas except for the on-ice jerseys being given directly to the team and the players, no one can purchase the latter. The last real jerseys made with quality are the Reebok Edge jerseys.

Are you referring to the Reebok Indo Edge jerseys? If so those alone cost like $300 and that's without a players name or number.

Yes the 2.0 version and yes they are expensive.

Earlier this year I purchased myself Tavares and Marner Adidas jerseys and the cost was still less than the RBK 2.0 Indo Edge jerseys would have cost.

Now the cost for my Marner jersey was $249.99 at SportChek before the tax, however I bought my Tavares jersey at that annual Sport Card Expo at the International Centre from a sports store located from Stouffville who had a both setup and paid $220 total in cash.

Sparks.
What?

Wow that is still really expensive for non-authentic gear, I only paid $70 for each jersey with all of the logos, lettering and numbers stitched on.

In your case I would have paid the extra money for the authentic Reebok Edge 2.0 jerseys.

I don't mind the cost and I rather pay more than a knock off version from China.

The Adidas jerseys I purchased are made in Indonesia, the same as yours.

The major difference is those are officially licensed for the NHL, where as the cheap ones from China look horrible. See you for yourself in these examples.

Adidas authentic version.


Knock fake version from China.

I including most people agree with you 100%, some people just don't care that it looks cheaper and that the design is completely off. I personally can't comprehend that. But some people just don't care that the waist stripe and collar are laughably thicker than what it really should be. In fact I think there is a very high chance that many "fans" don't even know that the waist stripe isn't supposed to be that thick. To each their own.

I agree the knock off jerseys from China look bad, the white waist stripe thickness is off and so is the Adidas logo. My Adidas Indo jerseys do not look like that at all.

I agree that there might be some fans who can not tell the differences between the authentic jerseys and the fake ones sold from China, however in a lot of the pictures they are very obvious. For example in the pictures I posted above you can still the one from China are bad because of the laces under the NHL logo and the Adidas logo in the white strip at the bottom. Plus the Leafs logo on the fake jersey just does not look right.

At that Sport Card Expo I previously mentioned I also saw other sellers and one had a few Leafs knock off jerseys from China. Let me tell you those look horrible up close and in person.

Which Doug Shedden? The #12 sweater or the #37 sweater, he wore both for Toronto.

Why choose?

 

[mashedpotato]

I never owned a player jersey. When I wanted a Leafs jersey, I'd buy one and stitch my own name on the back for shinny.

... but I chose Matthews because I play Centre.
